Step through the front door to be greeted by lofty ceilings and an elegant staircase that sets the tone for the rest of this Grade II-listed home. The decor is tasteful throughout, with feature wallpaper, cohesive colour schemes and quality wooden furniture and doors. Socialise and eat in the open-plan kitchen and dining area, with a dining table for four and a fully equipped kitchen with gleaming white units. The lounge is bright and welcoming, with two large sash windows and a feature fireplace housing a wood burner for cosy evenings in front of the Smart TV. Upstairs are two generously sized bedrooms, each with a king-size bed, luxury mattresses and Temple Spa toiletries, served by a beautiful family bathroom.

From the kitchen area, head out the patio doors, located under an original stone arch, to a small, enclosed patio with a bench – lovely for pausing for morning coffee. One private parking space and extra parking nearby make arrivals and departures easy.
